The fa.* hierarchy is a mail-to-news gateway thing.  I want a
mail-to-news-and-back-again hierarchy.  :-)

Or, at the very least, for mailing lists that don't want that, I want
people who post to these newsgroups to get an autoresponder message
back suggesting that they send mail to the mailing list instead of
posting to essentially a dead newsgroup.

(Me?  Post to a fa.* group and wondering why I never got any response?
Never!)
